The Data Deluge -- How Software Engineering Can Help

The world is focused on data as never before. Everything we do, from our professional, academic and social lives, relies on being able to receive, process, analyze and display vast amounts of intricately connected information, represented in many different ways. We show how we can draw on the experience of existing systems that process data and come up with success factors that enable software engineers to make data widely and easily available in different forms at many levels.
